Look at Rick Allen from Def Leppard.. THAT dude not only pulled a rabbit out of a hat, but there was NO quit in his game.. Total inspiration to anyone facing any kind of set back in ANY situation.. Where did they take the bone from? When I was in cardiac therapy - when I got the 3 stents - there were a few guys in there who had just had bypass surgeries and to a "T" everyone of them said the area of their leg where they harvested the veins, hurt MUCH WORSE than their chest where they had their sternum CRACKED and spread apart.. I figured the leg would be the least of their issues, but they all said the leg was much worse than the chest..
I think you have a good plan for your 'hats and, yes, I think your adrenaline will keep you rockin' into the night til the cows come home.. No worries on your vox! Rock and roll was MEANT to be misunderstood.. I know you probably do more country than anything, but still.. Nobody will notice a thing.. If Bob Dylan can become world famous, a little slur here and there ain't gonna hurt ya!
I'm excited that you're playing again.. it does give me a little kick in the booty wake up call that I need to get it going while I still can.. Ya know.. Your playlist MIGHT be a bit dated, but look at it this way: If the songs sucked, nobody would wanna hear them anymore.. NOBODY.. and yet, people still DO wanna hear your songs.. You're gonna go out there and you're gonna ROCK OUT with your C*CK out cuz THAT'S just the way we roll around here..
(sorry for my distasteful language, but if that phrase was EVER meant to be said out loud... it was right here and right now...!)

Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
